[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still sticking to drowning but why is it taking so long to recover her body? [/quote]

It's been washed out to sea.  Or eaten by a shark.  [/quote]

I read though there’s a protective barrier to the coral reef and the sharks preference for deeper waters. I still find it odd that her body hasn’t been found unless it’s been swept away.[/quote]

No one actually knows if she went into the water, do they? Did cameras show she did? While it's likely she went in, or did someone make her go in, or did she....so many unknowns?[/quote]

The story this morning on the news was that 8 total young adults were enjoying time on the beach at night, playing in the water and shore (her, her 5 girlfriends, and 2 guys they met there). The 5 girlfriends and 1 guy decided to leave the beach at around 5 AM and return to the hotel. She and the other guy stayed behind. They were both on the beach - not clear if in the water or sitting by where the water was breaking - when a huge wave came and took them out. He was able to get back out of the water and make it to shore. They were all extremely intoxicated. He fell asleep on the beach in the sand and camera footage has 'confirmed' this as he was seen leaving the beach at around 9:30 am. So far, she's not been seen on camera since early that morning.

His story is that they were wiped out by a wave, he got out, and he lost track of her. He didn't know if she got out and went home or was swept away. And it sounds like he was too drunk to think clearly or care.

As someone who grew up at the beach, it's not unrealistic for the body to not have appeared yet. It can take 3-5 days for a body to resurface in ideal water conditions, but if where she was washed out is very deep, it is possible the body never resurfaces. Same with if it is snagged or trapped on debris. [/quote]
